Seriously, stop posting about how he should have kneeled after gaining the first down in order to run out the clock. If the hole is open, and he has a chance to score, do it. Period. If he didn't score, kneeled the ball and then we miss the FG or fumble the snap, you same people would have said "why didn't he score when he had the chance, that was just stupid."

Bottom line is this: Our secondary is bad at best. They came up with 2 INTs, which is nice, but I would trade those INTs for 300 yards of passing. Schaub with 0 ints but only 97 yards? Easy trade everytime.

The one thing that made me blew my mind was Crowder LEAVING THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD WIDE OPEN FOR SCHAUB. As they broke the huddle, I literally said to myself "We need someone to spy the QB because they're within the 5 and Schaub will run it if he has to." 3 Seconds later....

In the end, it was a great game to watch, we played well in some areas, horrible in others, but seriously, stop posting about NOT scoring when the oppurtunity presents itself.
 
You can't ask a player not to score when he has a shot at the end zone. Period. What happens if he goes down at the 1, and we fumble on the very next snap? Are you willing to take that chance? I'd rather do exactly what he did: get the 6 and trust our defense to close. Even if that didn't happen, there's no way you can punish Ronnie for doing what he's supposed to do.
 
Exactly my point. He gets paid to score TDs. I'm more upset at the secondary giving up almost 400 yards to Matt Schaub PLUS a game winning TD run.
 
Brian Westbrook did it last year against Dallas

Yeah, but your forgetting one important thing! The Eagles were winning when Westbrook did that. We were not winning and needed a score to pull ahead.

You are going to say he shouldnt of scored to waste time and take or chances that we are so close we can score again at will?

Think logical, he did just what we needed him to do. Score when we were losing!
 
What they should have done is go for the 2 point conversion and have Ronnie run around and eat up clock. Ronnie could have run all the way back 80 yards playing keep away. We didn't need the extra point and it would of used at least 20+ seconds of clock.

Who cares what Westbrook did last year!! They were in the lead and we are not Philly. You score....peroid. When there is a hole as big as a freakin sperm whale in the oline line....you do your job and score.
The secondary (not even the entire D) let us down. I put the blame soley on them!
Mark my typed words....There will be more losses due to the secondary because they stink and teams are picking up on this. We already lost 2 Jets, and Texans because of secondary.

The clock doesn't run on 2pt conversions if I'm not mistaken.
 
clock doesnt run on a 2 pt conversion, thanks for the try though.

this place is redonkulous after a loss
 
Anybody who even defends the "Ronnie should have taken a knee" argument needs to get their head checked.
 
Time like these is when you miss Zack. If we had Zack Schaub would be hurting bad.
 
we lost a tough one, lets move on and win the next, alot of football remaining, it is nice to actually matter now
